BROCKTON – The Brockton branch of the NAACP will be hosting a candidates forum at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the Fuller Craft Museum for the Democratic candidates in the attorney general race.

Former state legislator Warren Tolman is squaring off against Maura Healey, the head of the Public Protection and Advocacy Bureau and the Business and Labor Bureau in the office of the attorney general, in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary.

The winner will face Republican candidate John Miller in the race to replace Martha Coakley as the state’s next attorney general.

Coakley is not seeking re-election as attorney general after launching a campaign to become the next governor.

During Tuesday’s event, Healey and Tolman will both have the opportunity to pitch themselves to voters as they answer questions from the event’s panel as well as from members of the audience.
